CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND STOCK PERFORMANCE: EVIDENCE FROM HONG KONG AND CHINA

My empirical research investigates the relationship between corporate governance and stock performance in China and Hong Kong from 2007 to 2014, as well as analyzes the difference in abnormal returns between China and Hong Kong using the CG score.

I test whether an investment strategy that buys firms with the highest levels of corporate governance or sells firms with the lowest levels can obtain abnormal returns in China and Hong Kong from September 2007 until November 2010.
